WARNING (Continued)
If stopping on a hill (downhill gradient), never try to maintain the vehicle sta-

tionary with the gear engaged by means of the "accelerator pedal", i.e. by let-

If you have to stop on a slope, depress and hold the brake pedal to prevent
■
the vehicle from rolling back.
On a smooth or slippery road surface using the kickdown function can cause
